To be connected
I would trade these words
thousands thousands thousands
just to feel
the world on my shoulders
connected
by the seams
broken threads mean nothing
but a few stiches
here and there
follow the needles
as they weave in and out
connection through thin lines
creating a tapestry
spelling my name
with the letters I traded in
words don't create an exisitence
connections do
words betray you
they take your breath
before you can breathe it
letting your air dot the i's
while your skin turns blue
a lack of colour
is what I need
right
now

Simply wonderful in every way. I could identify quite strongly with this.

I have really missed reading you.

I loved the read. Thank you for sharing this poem.

The connections part is good I got bit lost at the end.

a good commitee can decimate communication.
